Chapter 1952

An average person might not find the Purplecloud Cauldron's combat function useful, but its usefulness

toward an alchemist could not be understated. After all, its success rate was boosted by twenty percent!

By allowing Emery to use it, Daniella was blatantly handing her a clear advantage over Severin.

Knowing that Ferland deemed her actions somewhat unjust, Daniella shamelessly remarked with a smile, "She insisted on using my cauldron because she was afraid of losing"

The surrounding elders were not pleased to hear Daniella's remark, for they felt that she had gone too far

in protecting her apprentice. Her actions left Ferland speechless, but since the contest was already underway, all he could do was remain silent and hope that Severin might not have it too difficult.

Meanwhile, Raymond and Celeste were showed a similar disapproval of Daniella's actions, Celeste, being a sixth-grade alchemist herself, was particularly disgusted by Daniella's coddling. The Purplecloud.

Cauldron was a four-chambered cauldron that functioned to increase the alchemist's success rate by

twenty percent. The percentage rate seemed small, but it was significant enough to possibly impact the quality of Emery's pills.

Raymond turned to Celeste and asked, "I'm curious to know your opinion on Severin's chances of winning. Celeste frowned and found his question to be rather tricky to answer. After a moment of silence, she replied, "Not very high, if I'm honest. Severin might have surpassed Emery in the Alchemy Tower rankings, but the fact remained that Emery is Daniella's apprentice. The added guidance that she received, and the high-quality cauldron she had been allowed to use, are factors that seem to tip the scales toward Emery's

favor."

By Celeste's reckoning. Severin's remarkable alchemical talent and success in reaching the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower in half a month were feats worthy of admiration. However, achieving victory against Emery and the Purplecloud Cauldron might require one to have the ability of a sixth-grade medium-rank

alchemist.

Less than half a month had passed since Severin entered the sixth floor, and the time was too short for Severin reach that level of proficiency. Even Celeste, with her alchemy-inclined talent, took three months

to craft a sixth-grade medium-rank pill like the Crystal Spring Pill after entering the sixth floor.

Raymond frowned. "I suppose I should prepare myself to be disappointed today. I thought I'd get the chance to witness Severin's abilities, but a defeat seems to be the most likely outcome now."

He had heard about the bet between Emery and Severin-if Severin lost the tournament, then the position of the core disciple would have to change hands. Should that happen, it would be pointless for Raymond

As Raymond was contemplating on leaving. Ferland's voice echoed across the field. "Now that both of

you have fired up your cauldrons, the contest will officially begin!”

Ferland raised his hand and produced hundreds of sixth-grade materials from his spatial ring. He arranged them meticulously at the center of the open area. As the witness invited to preside over the contest, Ferland was not only responsible for maintaining order but also for providing the necessary materials. At the sight of the herbs, Severin sprang into action and raised his hand to start the Crystal Spring Pill's crafting process!
